WAILUKU — Mayor Michael Victorino last week announced the launch of a free COVID-19 community testing program sponsored by the County of Maui.

Residents do not need to have insurance or meet any criteria to get tested for free. Minit Medical is administering the program at standing community testing sites in West, South and Central Maui. Community testing drives in other locations will be announced in the future.

“The county is offering these tests completely free to keep our community safe and healthy,” Victorino said. “You don’t need to have any symptoms, and it’s a very quick and easy testing program that we encourage everyone to participate in.”

The free testing at the community testing sites DO NOT qualify for the State Pre-Travel Testing Program.
